Relationship Oscillation part 1

"Cassie, you should wear what I got for you. I know you like them."

Ash teases me as she shoves them into my hands. I crashed into the bed laughing ridiculously.

She's not wrong though. I do like this abundant lingerie collection she specially ordered for me because I asked her opinion ONCE on that topic!! The result?

I am now a proud owner of Nerd As Fuck lingerie sets. Each of my bra and panties has some quirky nerdy quotes or design on them.

To be honest, some of them are cleverly funny like 'Talk nerdy to me', smartass, 'i solemnly swear I am up to no good' from Harry Potter!

I ended up wearing the talk nerdy one.

I want to go sailing sometime with dad but he is busy with Harvard as usual.

And guess what? Professor Walkins called me personally to play guide to M.r Grey and explain where his money will be used for.

So, here I am dressing up for the meeting with my game face on.

I know I am being coerced into this situation. I need to know if he is still dating Gisele. I inquired Chloe about it but she has no idea. The shipping deal is still ongoing it seems.

But I don't care, he's on my turf now and I am in control of the situation.

I decided to opt for the white cashmere top and beige trousers with a tan leather jacket and ankle lace boots. I was coated with subtle lavender.

I looked over the list I am supposed to discuss with Mr. Grey.

I took the subway and solve my daily crossword.

'A symbol often used to indicate a change or difference in the amount of 2 variables' A 5 letter word down, it is simple as I fill in. D-E-L-T-A.

Maybe I need to paste this sign over my Boss's Face to show his varying emotions.

Mr Grey said he is in front of the Killian court. I don't understand why he decided to fund the MIT nanoscience lab when he's a Harvard alumnus?

He always stood out in the crowd. He's wearing a silver-grey suit and white shirt with a navy tie.

"Good morning Cassiopeia."

"Morning Mr. Grey. Let's get right into it. Follow me."

"Always, Cassiopeia."

I lead him towards the Barker Engineering library first.

" If you want to have a look around. Go ahead, you're a VIP. I have to talk to Sandra."

I leave him alone and walk up to the desk.

Sandra is a sassy black granny librarian she is hilarious. She reminds of Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter. She tipped up her cateye glasses on her nose.

"Hey, Sandra. Miss me yet?"

"Sweetheart I did. I cannot thank you enough for my grandson, Tucker. He loved those puzzles you gave him."

"I am glad it's helping him. So, Do you remember that book I asked for last time?"

"Oh yes dear, there's the address I have talked to Christie over the phone she's more than happy to give you the book."

"Oh, that's good. Thank you. Send my love to Tucker okay."

I said as I took the page with the written address information.

"A fine man you got yourself!" She commented as she leaned forward to peer at Mr Grey.

"Mr Grey is an investor and he is my boss. I am not dating him, Sandra."

"Hmm, well you two look beautiful."

I blushed and walked up the stairs to find him around the corner.

"Mr. Grey? "

" I was guessing which is your favourite shelf. I guess this is it? "

It was the astrophysics, quantum physics-mathematics above Computer Science section.

"How'd you know I am interested in quantum physics too?"

"I saw some books at your home desk and Professor Walkins might have mentioned what a high achieving student you are when I asked about you."

Mr. Grey said as he backs me towards the shelf. What is he doing? Why?

He lowered his head and whispers next to my right ear.

"I like this spot too Cassiopeia because I can trap you here and no one will notice at all."

He said as he nipped my ear. Whoaaa

What is this? My face is burning up. Calm down. I touch my left cheek with my right hand, the calming routine.

He brought his face even closer.

I think about the theory of relativity. Go far away.

" You cannot leave. I have got you now pretty Cassiopeia."

His lips touches mine. It was a small peck. Decent and discreet. Then why am I on fire? What is wrong with me?

"Let's go to the Stata centre."

"Cassie... I"

"Mr. Grey now is not the time to flirt. Not here."

I walked out of the library. I need a moment to recover. This was so unlike him. Something has changed. I touched my lips to realize if that moment was real or not.

I need to know if he's done with the heiress or not. I need to know why he's being so spontaneous all of a sudden? Is it some sort of fantasy making out in the library?

"If you want to hear from me then yes I am done with Miss Santino. The shipping deal is off. The fault was yours again."

He said as he grabbed my hand lead me to the back of the building.

" My fault? How??"

Now I am angry with him. what the hell??

"Because The second you walked into my office in your nerdy shirt and snug denim for an introduction I knew That deal was bust."

"Oh!" He has remembered what I wore a year ago? Is it some sorta confession?

"Then why now Mr Grey? You know what? doesn't matter I have to show you the campus because my professor has asked me to because I also know you forced him to ask me to do this when I was supposed to be focusing on other things for my career. "

"If you were mine and what you just said now would have some very serious consequences like you will not be able to sit for a whole week." He announced with sheer arrogance.

At first, I did not understand what he meant but then it hit me and now I am red with embarrassment.

The next hour I efficiently explained and showed off MIT Stata centre which is famous for Artificial Intelligence Research lab and computer science and Information and Decision making systems as well. I spent most of my time here in the Hogwarts of Science.

"This is your home turf, right? You must have spent many hours."

He asked. "Yes, we do have an ongoing 150 research projects and I like to participate in the process. I have received 3 credits in the AI and Computer Science Department research projects.

He was watching the equipment with attention. Asked me a few questions too.

"Is that how you got your mood sensor idea?" He pointed at the AI department section. "Those are multi enhanced sensors for MES for robot nurses. These are designed to be patient's care and emotional support especially for those who don't have family or support. The team is working on its behavioral database research so far and designing 3 in 1 sensor. "

"I was their tech support so they let me do a lot of the things and In return, they shared me a skill."

I said with a smile.

"That day at the airport, you were right on the bat about me. The sunflower you made for me was truly the best present I have ever received. I owe you a return gift."

Mr Grey confessed. What is up with him?

We walked out of the Stata center. Our reflections were caught on the Stata metallic building.

My phone started ringing.
